CoreDNS is still without first-class NSEC3 DNSSEC support right ?  Last time I looked it needed a third-party community 
plugin. Not a good look.

Hi,

I only can recommend CoreDNS for this use-case. Its plugin system is very easy to work with. I had a lot of fun times 
fiddling with wild ideas. But it’s written in Go, so ymmv.

Can anyone recommend software for an authoritative DNS server where
the open source code is clean and well documented? I have an
anycast-related experiment I'd like to put together and I want to be
able to quickly shoehorn it into existing code.

I looked at the source for ISC Bind but the code complexity is far
beyond anything I'd want to touch for a casual experiment. Please
don't use macros (#defines) to construct your C function
definitions. I realize C allows it but it turns your code into a
meta-language that no one else knows.
